Abstract
Detecting outliers has been a well studied problem in many applicable fields of research. Yet, wireless sensor networks present challenges because of their limited resources and unique need for real-time detection. Wireless sensor networks are deployed for a variety of reasons, and whether they are being used by the military, as weather sensors, or for another use, accuracy is always a necessity. With our research we examine the existing methods for outlier detection in wireless networks and propose new directions for future research. We not only will present a method to more confidently predict what data is an outlier, but to also find this information with as little delay as possible.
